Chapter 26 Change a pair of shoes for him
Chapter 25 Change him a pair of shoes
"Come on, Adam!! You can do it!!"

"I know!!! Alan, Mr. Charles said that I can definitely do it!! I will become a star earning thousands of pounds a week!! By then, the pair of sneakers you like will only be my wages for a day!!"

"Can I have another tracksuit?"

"certainly!!!"

Next to the training ground of the Luton Youth Academy, two black children, one big and one small, crossed their arms and said loudly as if no one else was around.

There was a burst of laughter all around.

The two children look similar, they seem to be two brothers, with curly hair, the older one looks like Adam, he is wearing a red vest, hanging loosely on his thin torso, and a pair of sports shorts, but on Adam, the pants have exceeded the knee, it looks as funny as if the child is wearing a skirt.

"What are they here for?" Gao Bo turned to his youth training director and asked.

Steve Powell didn't seem to understand the situation either, and he called for a youth coach.

"Here for a trial, sir!"

"Tryout?"

"Yes, it was introduced by Mr. Charles, a part-time scout."

Steve Powell looked suddenly enlightened. He turned his head and explained to Gao Bo: "Mr. Charles is a physical education teacher at a middle school in Luton. We have signed a scouting agreement with him. If we sign the players recommended by him, he will get paid ranging from one hundred pounds to one thousand pounds."

Gao Bo nodded. In England, such part-time scouts are everywhere.

Gao Bo is still very interested in how the England team selects young players with potential. It just happened to happen today, and Gao Bo watched with great interest.

Gao Bo didn't know how much stimulation his behavior brought to the young players on the field. They seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and wanted to show their best side. However, in this way, the confrontation match on the field seemed to become an individual exhibition match. After each of the forwards on the field got the ball, they wanted to do it alone.

Gao Bo shook his head slightly. He turned to the youth training coach and asked, "When will our trial players play?"

"Usually it's the second half that puts them on."

Gao Bo nodded: "But I think this game is meaningless now."

Gao Bo pointed at the field.

Steve Powell also shook his head aside, football is a team sport, and now these children on the field obviously turned football into a personal performance because of the arrival of the head coach.

"Let them go up and try it now."

Now that the head coach has spoken, the others naturally have no objections.

Soon, the black player Adam who came to try out was ready to go into battle.

A circle of young players gradually gathered around, and they looked at Adam with smiles on their faces. After all, Adam didn't look like a football player at all. He looked no different from those black young men in the slums. He was short and thin. Can such a body compete with those muscular men on the football field?
In fact, even the youth training coach next to Gao Bo is not very optimistic about Adam.

"What do you think of him, Tom?" Gobo asked.

The youth coach named Tom Carradock looked at the trial player who was about to be replaced.

"He's too thin, and too short, sir!"

Gao Bo was noncommittal. That young player really didn't look like he could do anything on the football field. He was very thin, and his height seemed to be only about 1.6 meters five.

"How old is he? How tall is he now?"

"Born in 1991, 17 years old, 160 cm tall." Tom took out the data sheet.

Gao Bo saw the young player's name from the form.

Adam White.

"A winger?"

"Yes, that's what the information says. Moreover, he hasn't received any formal football training. In this case, it's too late to start professional football at the age of 16. If he wasn't recommended by Mr. Charles, he wouldn't even have a chance for trial training. But I think this trial training is just a waste of time. It is very difficult for an academy that has not received professional training at the age of 16 to play." Tom talked in front of his boss.

"Oh." Gao Bo nodded. From the youth training camp to the professional arena, this is a path with a very high elimination rate. Not all children in the youth training camp can finally stand on the professional league field, especially in the youth training camp of a low-level team like Luton.

Adam White played quickly. Since he was a winger, he was naturally placed on the wing.

And just taking advantage of the timeout, Tom called his players together for a training session. After the game restarted, the scene was much better. No player dared to take the ball to a dead end like before and not pass the ball.

Adam Walter had a quick chance to catch the ball.

The ball is transferred from the rear diagonally, and the ball speed is very fast.

Adam White lifts the instep of his foot and gently stops the ball to his feet.

Gao Bo's eyes lit up!
The feet feel good!
But then, Adam White lost the ball. Facing the defensive player who came up, he made a fake move. As a result, the man did not pass, but he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The young players on the sidelines burst into laughter.Adam White got up from the ground in embarrassment and wanted to chase him back, but he fell to the ground just after he got up and took a few steps.

Tom shook his head slightly, his sense of balance was too poor!
Then Adam's performance can be described as very bad.

He hardly won any confrontation, as long as his thin body was squeezed by his body, he would immediately lose his position.And he doesn't seem to be fast. Sometimes he stops the ball very well, but he is not fast enough to let him get rid of the pursuers.

The first half ended quickly, and Adam walked to the sidelines with his head down.

Looks like this workout is over.

Tom thought so too, closing his notebook.

The two black children on the sidelines silently packed their things, it seemed that they also knew that their trial training had failed.

Gao Bo felt a little pity. Adam's sense of the ball just now was really good, but why did he look so clumsy on the court?Normally, a person with a good sense of the ball should also have a good sense of body balance.

"Show me his profile."

Tom was taken aback for a moment, but since it was the boss who spoke, he immediately handed over the information card.

Adam White: Advantages: Fast speed, good technique; Disadvantages: Streetball player background, poor team awareness.

Just a few lines of words.

Is it fast?

Gao Bo rubbed his chin, didn't he notice it during the trial training just now?

He looked at Adam with some pity, who had already put a dilapidated khaki backpack on his back.

He is not tall, but has a pair of broad feet.

and many more! !
"Wait a minute!!" Gao Bo said suddenly.

"Adam... your trial training is not over yet." Gao Bo said, "Tom, change a pair of shoes for him!"
